“Let the free market decide on EV’s.”

The admin is, as are many Americans, communist. Command economy is for them.

Big government advocates don't trust the free market to come up with the results that the progressives/communists desire. Therefore, they issue mandates and big government regulations.

Those big government advocates are the same that don't trust the voters to come up with their desired government officials, therefore, they have to intervene and 'make sure' that their candidates end up winning. It happened in 2020 and many election years before and since. It will happen again.

Yep, and so far, it's telling them they don't want EV's. The gov't has no business being in the automobile market. From Amtrak to health insurance, the gov't should not be in any market place. The gov't forces US citizens to buy health insurance and then gives it away free to illegal aliens. You don't suppose they're trying to buy votes, do you?

Worst President ever, including Carter and Obama.

The market is ALREADY saturated or EV sales. Just about everybody who wants or can afford a battery-array powered EV already owns one, or has given up on the pursuit of the purchase of one. They are toys, not serious modes of transportation. Hybrids with an ICE are a much better bridge vehicle. At least until hydrogen fuel cells are widely available, and for which there is scarcely any infrastructure yet developed.

At best, battery powered EVs are a niche vehicle, for only specific purposes, like short travel distances in a locality where charging facilities are easily accessed, or hauling limited number of passengers or weight of goods.

Market schmarket. These F’in geniuses are smarter that the immutable laws of the market. Hence one of their most recent disasters in the making, the $20 fast food wage here in CA

I think the free market did and the government doesn’t like it. I used to see Tesla Model 3s and other EVs fairly regularly. Now I rarely see one.

The fiasco that may happen in NY and other states mandating all new vehicles after 2035 be EVs will blow up in their face like if an exploding cigar was the Hindenburg. There is little infrastructure to handle the EVs, and not enough EVs being produced. If they started today, it could not happen. The infrastructure part alone will be impossible in that timeframe. I suspect if people just refused to comply, they will either kick the can down the road or cancel the entire idea. Only noncompliance will get these idiots to stop. Too many people in both parties want his green grabs because they get rich and don’t care about the people.
